Near the end when Evey is on the train, she's standing in front of the lever, and she looks at this red, rectangular device. The camera even does a close-up on it. I just couldn't remember what this object was. Didn't click for me or something. Could somebody fill me in? I'll post a couple of screen caps if that'll help...

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot about the scene with the dominos, and he picks up a single one at the end. It's a domino, I'm a moron...

True, the doctore expressed remorse, and V accepted her apology though he had already killed her when she did. However, she was the only one who really did express remorse at what she had done, while the others, evidently, did not. In short, when V killed her, he had no reason to think she would be any different from the others. If he was aware of her change one might argue that the fact the doctor didn't truly realize what was occurring in the camps is why V killed her in a "humane" way compared to the others.
Also, after a few viewings it becomes clear that V's captor's were not trying to "save" the country in any way, shape, or form, just tighten their grip upon it through inhumane means.

I understand that V stood for "everyone" but if the people (the little girl, lesbian and tv host) died in the previous days/weeks/months....how could they be standing there to watch Parliament blow up?

BTW...I caught this on rental...Is there a special edition with more scenes or a bonus disc and is it worth getting?

It's kinda like how Evey said that V was Edmond Dantez, her father, her mother, etc. A very literal person's brain might just blow on the spot! But of course she's not being literal when she says that...
